I'm pretty sure this is incorrect too. The Windows Update server had to
install SP3, reboot the PC and then install the .NET framework - which
doesn't like a lot of sense if SP3 *includes* it.

Yes, I expect Vista usage to increase over time. (Or will it? Maybe
everybody will just move to Windows 7?) My point is *today* few people
use it.

Interesting. So it's installed but just not listed? Is there a
scientific way to confirm this?
I should have realised eventually I would have no choice in the matter...
